Multiple Universes In a Multidimential World
Different people and beings simultaneously live in different dimensions or different Universes. Here's a verse from the Hindu Scripture that refers to that.
"Because You are unlimited, neither the lords of heaven nor even You Yourself can ever reach the end of Your glories. The countless universes, each enveloped in its shell, are compelled by the wheel of time to wander within You, like particles of dust blowing about in the sky. The srutis, following their method of eliminating everything separate from the Supreme, become successful by revealing You as their final conclusion" (Bhagavata Purana 10.87.41)
Dualists will take the above to speak of outside material Universes. But none dualists will understand it differently; that You are the Self, the source of all those different Universes. The sruti (the scripture) reveal You as the final conclusion, as the Supreme Entity, the source of all things in the Universe. But to fully understand this enigma one has to purify oneself and go beyond all the different mental blocks and coverings that keep the Self identified with the body, ego, senses, mind etc., because the true Self is hidden deeply beyond those vails or coverings. That's the Self that's shown to a none dualist through the mirror of the Scripture.
